So my story begins some time around September 2011. I saw the cutest cupcake toppers cut out with the Cricut machine at a baby shower. I had never heard of it before, but I knew I had to have one. Eight months later, I decided to invest in one, and I was in crafting heaven.
I made samples of almost every animal...
I decorated my classroom with it...
And here is the first card I ever made..
As I was making cards, I realized I needed more sentiment stamps. While searching high and low, I came across a stamp company called Paper Smooches. It opened my eyes to a whole new world! Along with stamping, I found dry embossing, heat embossing, copic markers, distress inks and so much more. Over the past year, I've shifted from "cricutting" to stamping. That brings us to today where I've begun to dabble in the stamping world.
As for this blog... I was uploading photos of my cards onto Instagram last night when I came across my first card. I was so proud of it when I first made it, but now it looks so simple. In addition, I'm getting to the point where I don't remember exactly what materials I used on each card or how I achieved a certain look, and I wanted to be able to describe in depth how I made each card. :)
I guess this blog will be more for my documentation more than anything, but... Welcome <3
